My 20-page document has continuous line numbering and my revisions are

perfectly conserved in the page layouts for "final" and "final showing
markup". In Word 2007, this is not the case. The numbering is way
increased in "final showing markup" and there is even a huge jump in
numbering between pages (i.e., the last line on page 9 is line 250 and
the first line on p. 10 is 256).

How do I make Word 2007 mimic Word 2003 so that both options
(continuous line numbering, and final showing markup layout) work?
This is STILL a problem in Word 2018 (version 16.21 for Mac). How come Microsoft have ignored this horrible amateur-level fault for over a decade! Do people just not use line numbers anymore? Or is it that microsoft engineers cannot find out how to fix it?

Because Microsoft hates Apple. I used to keep an older version of Word on my computer to do this specifically.
